James Talarico, the Democrat freak who’s running for U.S. Senate in Texas and loves trans kids, claims that lots of Republicans are secretly supporting his campaign. Uh huh. Sure they are.
This is the sort of desperate, utter baloney that is usually reserved for later in the campaign cycle. Remember White Dudes for Kamala Harris? How did that work out?
Talarico’s act is already wearing thin. He basically uses Christianity to support far left ideas. In case you haven’t noticed, the only time he ever brings up his faith or his religious beliefs is to defend something the radical left believes.
This bit about Republican voters secretly supporting him is simply not believable.
Talarico: GOP voters ‘whisper’ support for him ‘like they’re in … witness protection’https://t.co/JmIXLmBe09

From The Hill:
Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) said Tuesday that his campaign for Senate is attracting some support from previous President Trump voters who are becoming more disillusioned with the president’s policies, saying they whisper to him at rallies “like they’re in the witness protection program.”
Talarico argued during an interview on MS NOW that Trump has done “the exact opposite” of what he promised in 2024, pointing to the administration’s initial reluctance to release the Jeffrey Epstein files and the conflict in Iran, among other issues.
“A lot of the president’s supporters in Texas are feeling disillusioned, they’re feeling disillusioned with this extremism and this corruption that is embodied by politicians like Ken Paxton,” Talarico said. “And so, we have a real opportunity to build a big coalition of Democrats, independents and Republicans who are fed up with this extremism and this corruption.”
Talarico is facing embattled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the November midterms, after Paxton — with a final-hour endorsement from Trump — crushed incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in the Republican primary runoff Tuesday.
Even if a Trump supporter was disillusioned with Trump, they’re not going to turn around a suddenly support a far left candidate like Talarico.
No one shifts that hard from one side to the other. People on Twitter/X are calling it out.

Talarico is basically trolling Republicans. No conservative in their right mind would vote for this guy.
